Vintage Cartier Leather Bifold Wallet Late 1990s Black Silver

Paris, late 1990s — Cartier’s rue de la Paix windows gleam with Tank watches, but on the polished counters, the house’s Must collection is quietly shifting the codes of everyday luxury. This bifold wallet, crafted in smooth black leather, is anchored by silver-tone metal corner protectors and a matching zipper — a sharp departure from the gilt finishes of earlier decades. The Cartier double-C logo is embossed low on the front, understated against the deep black exterior.

Inside, a dark purple fabric lining picks up the house’s signature burgundy palette, with a zipped coin pocket and multiple card slots for daily organisation. The gold-stamped “Cartier PARIS” signature appears in a crisp serif font, further marking its late-1990s–early-2000s provenance. The original dust bag is included.

Condition: good, with visible creasing and mild scratches to the exterior leather; corners and zipper hardware remain bright, interior clean.
